Boy, Another Year.

I seem to always measure myself each year, at that inevitable date… my colonoscopy.

As I sit here and blog about my colon from the toilet (Life of a UCer/Crohnie), I am able to see how far I’ve come.  

Years ago, I would have refused to take the prep until my mom literally forced me.  This year, I chugged that shit down.  Though, I always seem to throw up about half of it, I still did it with NO COMPLAINING.  Only you guys know how hard that is!  

But each year, its nice to see how much stronger I have become.  And it’s inspiring to think of how far I can go.  

I feel like I have a whole complete attitude.  I actually mean it when i say, “UC doesn’t rule my life”.  

I’ve traveled to Amsterdam, Paris, London, New York, Colorado, Los Angeles, Canada, within the past year.  I’m officially in my senior year of my college career.  And I’ve gained back the confidence in my beauty that prednisone took away.    

I thank the Lord for all He has done to heal my attitude and life with UC.  

I’ve activated the comments, so let me know how far you’ve come!?

Colonoscopy

has been scheduled.  I’m terrified.  I’ve has a million before, but the thought of the unknown terrifies me.  I am afraid things are going to look worse.  

I never think this sort of thing will get easier.

i just have to tell myself:

Remain positive.Remain positive.Remain positive.

Anonymous asked: When you find blood in your stool do you come out of remission? Or do you see it just as a warning to increase your meds?

I would consider blood in my stool being in a flare. As far as meds go, you should consult your doctor first.* hang in there, it’s tough.
